Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
Staying connected at all times is something I obsess about. I live in the woods with no cable or DSL. My only choice for broadband was a HughesNet satellite or a T1 line. I was happy with HughesNet for awhile, but a few years later I started getting fed up with traffic caps and overall […]

My quest for the best stylus continues as I keep finding new ones that look interesting enough to try. The latest one to glide across my iPad is the Monet stylus from The Joy Factory. Available in Green, Pink or Black, this stylus looks more like a drumstick than a capacitive stylus. Let’s take it

Reading stands and book holders have been around for years, but recently, due to the proliferation of single-slab devices coming out, they seem to have been making a resurgence. The Wedgestand is one of the new line of stands, designed for laps as much as for a table or desk.

With the annual Dance Eisteddfod coming up, I needed to replenish my supply of small LED flashlights. Trying to read a program to see when the boys are dancing in a dark concert hall is a pain, you can’t use a light that’s too bright and these 22000mcd LED Keychain Lights from DealExtreme fit the bill perfectly. Gadgets don’t

Not every iPad user lives a cushy life and not every iPad has a soft function. Sometimes iPad must be taken into dangerous, rugged or rustic situations and needs far more protection than any nylon fashion case can give it. Pelican cases help you take your iPad where most people wouldn’t think to. Let’s give a

A lot of people worry about getting help if something happens to them away from a phone. Maybe they are aging or becoming confused or forgetful. Perhaps they have limited mobility or a disability.

The Stem Innovation iZON Remote Room Monitor is a WiFi based camera that has been designed to work specifically with iOS devices. The idea is to place the iZON camera in a desired location and then view it remotely using your iPhone or iPad. I’ve been trying one out for a couple of weeks now and am ready to share my opinion on

With the availability of iPads, netbooks, tablets, and smartphones nowadays, it doesn’t leave much room for our older laptops. Everything has become smaller, thinner, lighter, has better battery life and virtually no heat output. However, if you are like me and still have an older laptop or notebook in your arsenal of electronics then you

I love cases, covers, and bags more than most people, but I require a lot from any case or cover. They can’t just look nice and offer protection. They have to also not detract from the looks of the gadget, and they need to either add no bulk or weight or have some fabulous feature

I love it when someone takes an item that we all use everyday and reinvents it to make it more convenient. For example, when was the last time you thought to yourself that you love the design of the everyday ordinary keychain split ring? Probably never… More likely, you swear under your breath every time

A while back, I told you about some beautiful embossed smart covers for iPad from an Etsy store called Handiwork by punkassjim. Inspired by the cover of an old electrical handbook, Jim Thorpe set about creating a cover for his iPad that incorporated the cover design of the handbook. Luckily for us, he realized his

I’ve reviewed the Drift HD and the Swann Freestyle HD action cameras (see related links), and while I haven’t been able to give you any extreme sports footage, hopefully the reviews have been useful to those considering a POV camera. The GoPro range of POV cameras have become the de facto standard by which most

I have been trying out another stylus with my iPad. This one is the BoxWave EverTouch Capacitive stylus with a new type of tip that I’ve not seen before called FiberMesh. Is the BoxWave EverTouch stylus just another clone of the Targus stylus or is it a step up? Let’s take a look.

Most every phone, tablet, MP3 player, and computer these days have built-in speakers so you can hear audio without having to use headphones. Most of those built-in speakers are woefully inadequate for anything but listening while you’re within a couple of feet of your device. There are a plethora of external speakers available to boost

I recently spent two weeks with the Droid RAZR MAXX by Motorola. This phone runs on Verizon’s 4G LTE and its claim to fame is battery life. It is very similar to the recently released RAZR, just thicker to accommodate the larger battery. I can’t tell you how excited I am that someone finally designed a phone

Vendors are beginning to accept the idea that women like, need, and use gadgets, too. While we can use the same gadgets that men do, sometimes we’d like our bags and accessories to be a bit different – perhaps smaller, maybe a bit more colorful. knomo London makes “perfect urban accessories to carry your devices,”

Creating a collection of every day carry (EDC) items is obviously a personal thing. What is an indispensable item for one person, may be completely useless to another. However, one item that almost all of us will agree is useful, is a pen. Even though the majority of people reading this review carry a smartphone and may

I am an old U.S. Air Force guy from back in the day…like my father, grand father and many uncles before me. I often think that I missed my time in history. I hate to say it, but I soooo would trade all of today’s tech/gadgets to be a P-51 or B-17 pilot. I grant

Wearing this jacket allows me to hide all my gear in the jacket and leave my shoulder bag
